Dovedale National Nature Reserve - East Midlands, United Kingdom - Outdoor Stairways on Waymarking.com

To get to the top of Lovers Leap, you need to climb the stairs made from stones. I stopped counting them... when I got to 100 steps.

"Lover’s Leap is said to named after an accident that happened here nearly 300 years ago during the Napoleonic Wars. A young woman heard that her boyfriend had been killed. She was so upset that she climbed to the top of Lover’s Leap and threw herself off. Luckily, she survived the fall."

About Dovedale National Nature Reserve:
"Dovedale is a valley in the Peak District of England. The land is owned by the National Trust and attracts a million visitors annually. The valley was cut by the River Dove and runs for just over 3 miles (5 km) between Milldale in the north and a wooded ravine, near Thorpe Cloud and Bunster Hill, in the south. In the wooded ravine, a set of stepping stones cross the river and there are two caves known as the Dove Holes. Dovedale's other attractions include rock pillars such as Ilam Rock, Viator's Bridge and the limestone features Lovers' Leap and Reynard's Cave"
